hey i have a serious doubt..leucine codes for UUC and its IUPAC name is 4 amino carboxyl pentonoic acid .how can one amino acid have two completely unrelated structures???

I do not understand your question. The alternative name for leucine is 2-Amino-4-methylpentanoic acid. In addition UUC codes for phenylalanin.

Leucine is coded by UUA UUG CUU CUC CUA CUG .
